Letters to the Editor

As we watch the news about Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, we are saddened. How could someone do such an extreme manslaughter or massacre?

I have to agree to a point with Governor Mike Huckabee, that God was pushed aside. I have stated this in many letters that I have written. The more we leave God out of our lives and push Him aside, the worse things get.

Public schools around the country have removed God from just about everything, including creation.

We need to pray for all these families affected by this situation, including the shooter’s family. The children who were lost on this sad day are with God right now. They are little angels. Maybe if the shooter had a stronger belief of God, this may not have happened.

Even our government has gone along with removing God from more than people realize.

This was once a strong Christian nation, but now we have gone to an extreme and allowed so much against the laws of God and man.

Jesus is and was the Good Shepherd, but we have gone crazy. We are turning into a herd that is lost and crazy, but there was a watchful shepherd there, and she kept an eye on this flock of children. She gave her life for her flock to protect them, just as Christ has given his life to protect the flock following him. There were a few other shepherds lost also — those that tried to stop the shooter. The lone wolf never got some of the flock because of the shepherds’ guarding these lives.

The Good Shepherd has been pushed aside, and yet he also gave His life. Let us not forget these shepherds.

So let us all pray for this situation in Newtown, Connecticut, but also for this country.

Let us put God back in schools and more. Let us ask for “God Bless America,” as we need it, more than what some people want to admit or think.
